Ya, because Stephen paddock knew all of his 600 victims. People never randomly get shot by people that are just fed up with the world. Thank god you were here with your infinite wisdom, did I say infinite wisdom? Oh I meant ignorant and unnecessary judgement of two injured strangers.

Um J. Just about every mass shooting is because an individual is fed up with the world. It happens all the time. That is why I pack heat on a daily basis. Yes plenty of those people in the world. If your not pissed off, your not paying attention. PS. Pay attention to your surroundings!
